Abel James Show

What if you could completely change the way your genes are expressed, without using any crazy sci-fi, new-agey machines or drugs? Gray Graham is here to explain exactly that. Gray is the lead author for the book “Pottenger’s Prophecy” and expert in epigenetics. If you're not familiar with the term epigenetics quite yet, don't despair (heck, spell check doesn't even recognize the word!). But this field of study is definitely something you don't want to dismiss: epigenetics has revealed that we have the power to literally reprogram our genes in favor of being lean and strong (instead of fat and flabby). "What we know now is that genes can be turned on or off...based on what we do in our environment: food, exercise, and toxins." - Gray Graham In this week's show you'll hear about: How you can literally reprogram your genetic expression to live longer Why what you eat has massive implications on the health of your children Why being 100% Paleo or 100% Vegan might be hurting you What nutrition has to do with sexual dysfunction. And much more "The mistake is thinking a diet worked for me then, so I should maintain it for the rest of my life." - Gray Graham Updates from the world of The Fat-Burning Man: Be on the look-out for our newest app “Gluten Free Desserts” – in the meantime, you can check out the eCookbook HERE. We will also be launching the Android version of our best-selling app “Caveman Feast” VERY SOON. :) How about you? Had you heard of "epigenetics" before the show? What do you think about our ability to completely change our own genetic expression through food, exercise and other lifestyle changes? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

This is a pretty special episode for me this week. Today's guest is Danny Dreyer, and his book "ChiRunning" is really the first book that made me question my relationship with running, and then snowballed into rethinking the way I ate as well. I don't usually encourage or recommend many of the books that come my way, but this is one that I seriously love and think a lot of people could benefit from reading. It's been a great week here, and after some exciting conversations, the one thing I want to ask of you this week is FEEDBACK!

Today is a very special episode, because our guest is actually one of our listeners. Denny Hemingson contacted me a few months ago via email and told me about the great success he's had with a Wild Diet-lifestyle. The kicker of all this? He's actually the band leader for Tim McGraw's back-up band. If anyone has some great insight on how to live Paleo/Primal on the road, this is the episode for you! In other exciting news, I am just getting back from Victoria, Canada. I was up there recording with Dave Asprey for a brand new show we'll be doing all about biohacking.

Vinnie is also the author of the terrific book Fitness Confidential, where he debunks the myths and gimmicks of the weight loss industry. Vinnie is hilarious - you're going to dig this episode. Before we get to the show, I have a very special request. Unlike a lot of podcasts out there, The Fat-Burning Man Show is entirely listener supported. No advertisements, no sponsors, no corporations lurking in the background trying to influence what we have to say.

With the amazing growth we've seen over the past year and a half for the show (we just passed 2 million listens!!!), we're barraged by companies desperate to advertise their wares on the show. But for the reasons I describe on this page, we always say no.

We have a whole team!) and keep us commercial free. I'm also giving away 2 very special surprises to everyone who helps out by donating as little as a dollar.

He's helped thousands of regular people "level up their lives" as he says, all while exercising and exploring all over the world! Now before we get to our show today with Steve, I just want to tell you guys about what's been going on behind the scenes here, and why you may have had some trouble reaching us in the past few days.

Today's show is with Scott Gryzbek, the proud founder and CEO of Zukay Live Foods, the makers of vegetable kvass. This is ridiculously tasty stuff! After working in the food industry for a number of years for some big players in the game, Scott found it hard to sell foods he wouldn't feed to his own kids. So instead, he started Zukay to bring the health benefits of raw, fermented vegetables back into the American diet. Today we talk about: What it was like to live paleo before paleo was Paleo. A behind the scenes look at why food manufacturers and the government create foods you wouldn’t feed your kids. How you can make fermented foods at home. And why a beer may be good for you from time to time. Here's the show.

Today's special episode of the show is with my buddy Darryl Edwards, The Fitness Explorer. Darryl is a natural movement therapist, and Paleo clinical nutritionist based in London.

John Romaniello (better known as Roman) runs Roman Fitness Systems with a tongue-in-cheek approach to fitness. Equal parts narcissism and self-loathing, Roman writes with passion and humor, show-casing his belief that training doesn’t need to be serious, stern, science-laden monotony. It can be fun, too. Roman stopped by The Fat-Burning Man Show before going on other shows such as Dr Oz, The Colbert Show, and a few other stops in the mainstream media. This is a fun show, but let's put it this way: it's a bit more "Tucker Max" than "Paul Jaminet." I already know this show is going to be controversial. If you're offended by colorful language, what a male at 23 years old has to say about sex (or women in general), or a few other topics that might raise some eyebrows, you may want to skip to the next show. That said, Roman is brutally honest about his transformation from a chubby kid to a model and unapologetically shares his physical, mental and emotional journey with all of us. It takes a great deal of courage, and gumption, to do that, so there's a lot to learn from the show if you pay attention. * If you are listening to the podcast, we've bleeped out the potty mouth words. In today's show we talk about: What it’s like to go from being a chubby kid to ripped The head trash that comes along with body transformation (that no one talks about) How you can dramatically improve your life while improving your body And why Tucker Max and Arnold Schwarzenegger say Roman’s book doesn’t suck. Here's the show

Mira and Jayson Calton are authors, rockstars, and some of the first guests ever on the show.

Gary Taubes is an award-winning science writer and the bestselling author of the groundbreaking and controversial books Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat. Gary has been a contributing correspondent for the journal Science since 1993, and has contributed articles to The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, and Slate. Gary studied applied physics at Harvard University, aerospace engineering at Stanford, and journalism at Columbia University. But fortunately for all of us, he's dedicated himself to tearing down conventional nutritional theory with his research, books, as well as the co-Founder of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSi). My first response to Gary's work in "Good Calories, Bad Calories," was giddy delight. Why? Because I believe that the underlying cause of the obesity epidemic isn't in eating too much and exercising too little. People are fat because they are malnourished and their bodies malfunction. This is a thesis I hadn't seen articulated sufficiently before discovering Gary's work. A few other reasons why Gary's books are must-reads: They're are dripping in solid science. When someone demands, "I want proof that carbs are fattening, restricting calories isn't healthy, whole wheat is dangerous, and eggs won't kill me," throw this book at them. Watch their eyes roll back in their head when the happen upon the formidable references section. Gary provides historical insight into how conventional wisdom about a "healthy diet" was confounded by bad science and commandeered by special interests. Although the books can be heady, they're certainly readable. Generally, slogging through science is tedious, but these books are surprisingly accessible and entertaining. Another very cool side-effect of getting Gary on the show was an unexpected insight. It was difficult to find a time to get us both on the horn because Gary tends to write until 1 pm on most days with limited distractions - no shows / interviews / unnecessary technology, etc. Doesn't that sound nice? Actually reserving time for yourself in the mornings to crank out work? I've started reserving my mornings for work, as well, and it's been amazing. No phone, no e-mail, no Facebook, no junk. Just clear-headed, creative work. Loving it. Alright, onto the show. This one's content-packed, so grab your notebooks and get stoked. We cover: Why before the 1960's, everyone knew what actually makes us fat What makes us fat and why Why eating eggs won't give you a heart attack Whether or not there's such thing as a safe starch As well as the one thing that Gary cut out of his diet to lose 15 pounds effortlessly Here's the show.

Today's show is with the brilliant Paul Jaminet, author of The Perfect Health Diet and perfecthealthdiet.com.
